Hey Nikita is it coldIn your little corner of the worldYou could roll around the globeAnd never find a warmer soul to know

Oh I saw you by the wallTen of your tin soldiers in a rowWith eyes that looked like ice on fireThe human heart a captive in the snow

ChorusOh Nikita you will never know, anything about my homeI'll never know how good it feels to hold youNikita I need you soOh Nikita is the other side of any given line in timeCounting ten tin soldiers in a rowOh no, Nikita you'll never know

Do you ever dream of meDo you ever see the letters that I writeWhen you look up through the wireNikita do you count the stars at night

And if there comes a timeGuns and gates no longer hold you inAnd if you're free to make a choiceJust look towards the west and find a friend

ChorusOh Nikita you will never know, anything about my homeI'll never know how good it feels to hold youNikita I need you soOh Nikita is the other side of any given line in timeCounting ten tin soldiers in a rowOh no, Nikita you'l never know
